Giada DK320 Packs Wildcat Lake Into a 25mm Signage PC

Giada's DK320, detailed by CNX Software on August 14, is a digital signage player that happens to be a competent edge AI box — and at 25.4mm thick, it is meaningfully slimmer than most of the Wildcat Lake systems that have arrived this year.

• Intel Core 3 304 (5-core) or Core 5 315 (6-core) Wildcat Lake, both with a 15 TOPS NPU
• Up to 48GB DDR5-6400 via a single SO-DIMM slot, plus M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
• Dual HDMI 2.1 driving two 4K displays at 60Hz; 2.5GbE and four USB 3.2 ports
• Measures 130 x 129.3 x 25.4 mm with active cooling; ships barebone

What Makes the DK320 Different From Other Wildcat Lake Boxes?

The form factor, mostly. We have covered a steady run of Wildcat Lake mini PCs this year — from the Beelink ME Pro 2 NAS to the MINIX N304 budget AI box — and most land in the 40–50mm thickness range. The DK320's 25.4mm profile matters specifically for its target job: it disappears behind a wall-mounted display instead of forcing a deeper mounting bracket.

The silicon is standard Wildcat Lake fare, which at this point is a compliment. Both the Core 3 304 and Core 5 315 options carry a 15 TOPS NPU, and the Core 5 315 adds dual-core Intel Xe3 graphics rated at 18 TOPS. Combined, that is enough headroom for the on-device analytics that signage deployments increasingly want — audience measurement, content adaptation, basic computer vision — without a discrete accelerator.

How Much Memory and Storage Does It Support?

Up to 48GB of DDR5-6400 through a single SO-DIMM slot, which is generous for a machine in this class and unusual for a signage player. Storage runs through an M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot accepting 2242 or 2280 NVMe drives. Wireless is optional via an additional M.2 slot supporting WiFi 5, 6, or 7 with Bluetooth.

The I/O set leans commercial: dual HDMI 2.1 outputs, 2.5GbE, four USB 3.2 ports, and an RS232 serial connector — that last one a clear signal about the install base Giada is aiming at, where display control over serial is still routine.

Who Is This Actually For?

Giada positions the DK320 for digital signage, edge computing, and embedded applications requiring real-time analytics, and it ships barebone with support for Windows 11 64-bit and Ubuntu Linux. Pricing has not been published, and it is sold through distributors rather than retail — the usual pattern for commercial-channel hardware.

For integrators, the appeal is straightforward: a thin, actively cooled unit with enough NPU headroom to run inference locally rather than backhauling video to a server. For homelab builders eyeing it as a general-purpose box, the barebone configuration and distributor-only availability make it a harder recommendation than the consumer Wildcat Lake units in our mini computer coverage.
